DanTheBassMan Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 You noodled a dogfish? I could be wrong but isn't noodling when the drunk guy in the muscle shirt sticks his arm in the hole in the bottom of a muddy river so he can get a catfish to swallow it? I am guessing that is not how you caught a dogfish, I'm using a loose interpretation... grabbed him by the tail and just pulled him up. He made a little attempt to nip at me, but he was just so out of it... had to have been if he was so lost. I recently encountered a hypodermic needle washed up with the last new moon tides where I had been standing, fingers crossed I don't step on one. Perhaps the dogfish wasn't so lucky . There was thread recently about needles being a hazard up by the Merrimack, and I'm disgusted to see them turning up a good ways south of there. Serious pullage.

unskunk Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think I forgot how to fish artificial stuff over the off-season. I was in the Bass/Danvers River yesterday morning and the fish finder was lit up like a Christmas tree. Unfortunately, all I could manage was one 16-18 inch fish. I switched out lures and retrieve styles and all I could manage were bumps and follows, saw them follow right to the boat and then turn off. The lure that seemed to garner the most interest, and the only fish I landed, was a Hogy soft eel imitation. Tried white, pink and purple soft baits, green mack Al Gag whip-it fish, a yellow and white bucktail, a Sebile soft swimmer in bunker pattern (action on those things is amazing), a mack pattern popper and even threw in an Hayward swimmer in blue mack pattern (I figured it was too big for schoolies but it is new and shiny and I wanted to christen it). Very frustrating morning. Nothing but a small schoolie, a sore shoulder, and near frostbite to show for my efforts. Damn it was cold out there. I hope someone had better luck in the river over the weekend than I did. If you did feel free to PM me whatever lure was actually working. Hopefully I can return the favor soon.

BB2525 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Few macks jigged up outside the islands. Got caught in the storm yesterday, live lined them around a couple spots. Nothing doing, but good to be out on the boat for the first time this year even though I experienced every weather condition possible in two hours.

stalkinthebeaches Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Got the chubbiest schoolies I've ever seen last night (ocean side, sandy N shore beach)They were close but I doubt they would've hit the 28" mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday was packing up on the river in PI to head home and found a syringe in the weed at the high tide area. Fortunately it was capped, so used a bait bag to scoop it up and got it outta there. It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlumFishing Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 "High tide area". Not even sure that's a legit term. Anyways, the weed where the high tide was when the storm was on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 A lot of fish lately have had more impressive girth than length. Should maybe start weighing them instead of taping them. -bd Got the chubbiest schoolies I've ever seen last night (ocean side, sandy N shore beach)They were close but I doubt they would've hit the 28" mark.

PlumFishing Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Got a hit on a Coltsniper in the river but pulled the hook. A fisher woman at the bend caught a 42" on clams about an hour before low tide. Her and her guy didn't have a tape so measured with them. And they said someone else weighed it at about 25. (Wasn't there for the weighing). Headed back now after a few chili dogs at the Comba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheBassMan Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Good luck stay safe Ironically, I was reported as "suspicious activity" tonight at a druggie hotspot and was checked in on by an officer. Everything checked out and I went back to a steady schoolie bite on fly. He also told me that EPO recently seized a load of undersized stripers from a boat in the body of water I was fishing. Thank you law enforcement for maintaining order on land & water! Serious pullage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you law enforcement for maintaining order on land & water! Get used to it. Anyone fishing at night is automatically assumed to be up to no good. I've been approached by the law more than once. I am assuming that you were fishing at night, maybe not ? -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you law enforcement for maintaining order on land & water! I've seen a much greater presence of EPOs in both Mass and NH this year and that's a good thing. My favorite spot is a sketchy place to be even in the daytime, would never go there after dark but I usually have it to myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
